General

This "cape" will enable you to interface a BBB (BeagleBone Black) with parallel port based NC systems. The cape provides bidirectional level shifting registers so that the BeagleBone’s 3.3V I/Os can be safely connected to regular parport based hardware (usually using 5V levels).

The basic cape provides 30+1 signals which can be used as inputs or outputs depending on the users needs. (30 IOs, 1 status LED).
Some of these are routed to the DB25 connector (compatible with LinuxCNC sample configurations, and common step/dir hardware), some are routed to the 6 axes connectors (check Schematics)

The sample signal names used can be used as is (using LinuxCNC sample configurations) or can be repurposed depending on user needs.
